Make it stop–please!

It’s snowing here again and though I’ll admit it’s pretty, I just want it to stop. Don’t get me wrong, I love snow but I’ve had enough. It is not supposed to snow this much in the South! I wouldn’t mind if I still lived in Maine–at least I think I wouldn’t!–but down here in the South I don’t like seeing all this white stuff fall from the sky. Not only does it create problems driving, but it seriously creates problems at home. Hardwood floors, dogs, and snow are not a pretty mix!

So please, someone make it stop!

And while we’re talking about stopping, I saw an article on-line this morning about a remake–gah! I hate that word!–of The Big Valley. Sheesh. To make matters worse, the article also mentioned they’re working on a remake–there’s that awful word again!–of Gunsmoke. What? Are all the writers/directors/producers in Hollywood against making movies with original ideas? Have they all embraced some new religion that practices redundancy while it spurns originality?

Is it any wonder I don’t go to the movies anymore? Apparently, there’s nothing new under the sun in Hollywood. It’s all been done before, and done better, I might add, and I have no interest in seeing the movie stars of today butcher the roles of the great actors of the past.

Okay, now that I got that out of my system, here’s something I don’t want to stop–today is Spring Training Truck Day at Fenway! Yay! You know what that means, don’t you? Yep, the trucks are on their way to Ft. Myers, Florida and baseball season is just around the corner.

Now there’s something to look forward to!

Another thing I don’t want to stop is the progress I’m making on my latest WIP. I just hit 35,000 words which means I should be at 40,000 when I finish the first half of the book. Just where I hoped. Yippee!

Gah, I need to start paying more attention to this blog. It’s been over a week since I even looked at it.

Your Queen’s scepter worked! Thanks for making the snow stop–well, for today, anyway–it’s almost spring-like here and the sun is shining. Yay!

No, the WIP I’m talking about here isn’t the next book in my Shadows series. That one’s already with the publisher and should be coming out soon. I’m hoping and praying that its title, STORM Shadows, doesn’t mean this spring will be rainy and stormy. I’ve had enough of wet gunk falling out of the sky!

The book I’m working on now is the one I’m writing with Christy about our great-aunt’s life and we’re over 37,000 words now. Yippee! Now, if we can just keep this hot streak going–both in the weather and our writing! Wish us luck!
